Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Elevess is intended for all skin types. However, further study of all soft tissue fillers is needed in people of color because of the increasing use of cosmetic dermal filler products.

This study is designed to evaluate the safety of an injectable hyaluronic acid based dermal filler Elevess (Anika Therapeutics, Inc., Bedford, MA). Safety will be evaluated by incidence and severity of keloid formation and pigmentation changes, and other potential adverse events in people with Fitzpatrick skin types IV, V and VI who have elected to undergo nasolabial fold (NLF) treatment with Elevess.

1\. Fitzpatrick Classification of Skin Type as: IV - Burns minimally, always tans well (moderate/light brown skin; Mediterranean, Asian, Hispanic. V - Rarely burns, tans profusely (dark brown/brown skin: Middle eastern, Latin, light skinned Black, Indian) VI - Never burns, (deeply pigmented dark brown to black skin;Black)

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is designed to be an open-label, longitudinal, uncontrolled study in a minimum of 100 subjects with Fitzpatrick scale skin type of IV, V or VI at 10 or more U.S. centers who have elected to undergo NLF treatment with intradermal (deep dermal) injection of Elevess. Subjects will be followed for a minimum of 24 weeks with visit assessments at 2, 6, 12 and 24 weeks after the last injection.

Safety: Primary Safety Endpoint assessments will be: 1) keloid formation at the site of injection at 2, 6, 12 and 24 weeks, 2) pigmentation changes at the site of injection compared to adjacent skin at 2, 6, 12 and 24 weeks, and 3) overall adverse events. A subject diary will also be collected.

Effectiveness: No formal effectiveness evaluation will be performed.
